Those attending The Rental Show 2012 in New Orleans can shop for the wide variety of products and services available from the American Rental Association (ARA) at the new ARA Store.

Located in Lobby E of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, near the entrance to the show’s registration area, the ARA Store is packed with all of ARA’s products and promotional items that attendees can check out and purchase. In addition, any product ordered — except the Ready-to-Rent tags — will be shipped to the attendee’s business for free.

The ARA Store is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 5; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 6-7; and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 8.

Key ARA personnel will answer questions about any products or services — from the new Business Management: Contracts and Legal Guidelines and ARA Professional Driver Education Program to ARA souvenir t-shirts and coffee mugs — and the new ARA Products and Services Guide will be available with photos and descriptions of every product and service offered by the association. A selection of products also will be on display for review before purchase.

“The ARA Store is a brand-new concept for the show,” says Tom Hubbell, ARA’s vice president for marketing and communications. “Now, current and prospective members will be able to access products and souvenirs before, during and after the trade show floor hours. It’s a one-stop shop where questions can be answered and valuable resources can be ordered.”
